We have so many memorable anniversaries in our almost 30 years together. This is the saddest one for both of us. You are my soul mate, my best friend, the love of my life. We stuck together through thick and thin no matter what. Happy you walked into my life that day! Your smile and hugs always made things the best. I just close my eyes and can literally feel your touch. Missing you my dear on this 1 year anniversary of you leaving this life. Until we touch again and come full circle. I love you.

I met Larry at work in 1988. He taught me how to hew logs, start fires with flint and steel, run a trap line and many many more things that won't fit on here. He's one of the finest and most compassionate men that I'll ever meet. He's a friend that will be missed by many.

Larry was ALWAYS fun to work with and I still recall how calm he was when his dog put my ENTIRE leg at the knee in her mouth. Fortunately, I was, too, and his smile at that moment has stayed with me forever.
He skinned in the warehouse and I worked in the lab (sometimes squirrels from his and Janine's property).
I believe he enjoyed his worldly life as much as anyone I've known.
